1.1. Safety Information 

 

The following safety precautions must be observed during all phases of operation, such as usage, service 

or  repair  of  any  cellular  terminal  or  mobile  incorporating  MC90  module.  Manufacturers  of  the  cellular 

terminal  should  send  the  following  safety  information  to  users  and  operating  personnel,  and  incorporate 

these  guidelines  into  all  manuals  supplied  with  the  product.  If  not  so,  Quectel  assumes  no  liability  for 
customers’ failure to comply with these precautions. 

 

 

Full attention must be given to driving at all times in order to reduce the risk of an 

accident.  Using  a  mobile  while  driving  (even  with  a  handsfree  kit)  causes 

distraction and can lead to an accident. Please comply with laws and regulations 

restricting the use of wireless devices while driving.

 

 

Switch off the cellular terminal or mobile before boarding an aircraft. The operation 

of  wireless  appliances  in  an  aircraft  is  forbidden  to  prevent  interference  with 

communication systems. If the device offers an Airplane Mode, then it should be 

enabled  prior  to  boarding  an  aircraft.  Please  consult  the  airline  staff  for  more 

restrictions on the use of wireless devices on boarding the aircraft. 

 

 

Wireless  devices  may  cause  interference  on  sensitive  medical  equipment,  so 

please  be  aware  of  the  restrictions  on  the  use  of  wireless  devices  when  in 

hospitals, clinics or other healthcare facilities.   

 

Cellular  terminals  or  mobiles  operating  over  radio  signals  and  cellular  network 

cannot  be  guaranteed  to  connect  in  all  possible  conditions  (for  example,  with 

unpaid bills or with an invalid (U)SIM card). When emergent help is needed in such 

conditions, please remember using emergency call. In order to make or receive a 

call,  the  cellular  terminal  or  mobile  must  be  switched  on  in  a  service  area  with 

adequate cellular signal strength.

 

 

The cellular terminal or mobile contains a transmitter and receiver. When it is ON, it 

receives  and  transmits  radio  frequency  signals.  RF  interference  can  occur  if  it  is 

used close to TV set, radio, computer or other electric equipment. 

 

In  locations  with potentially explosive atmospheres, obey all posted signs  to turn 

off  wireless  devices  such  as  your  phone  or  other  cellular  terminals.  Areas  with 

potentially  explosive  atmospheres  include  fuelling  areas,  below  decks  on  boats, 

fuel  or  chemical  transfer  or  storage  facilities,  areas  where  the  air  contains 

chemicals or particles such as grain, dust or metal powders, etc.
